I took snowball to the vets today for her to have her spray scar checked, the vet said it looked a bit sore so put some more glue on it. (She took her out the back to do this) She came back and said she is a ficey (sp) rabbit. I didnt think anything of it as she doesnt like being pick up.

I put her in her run when we came back from the vets, went out about 12 o'clock to give her herbs which she eat. I went out and left her in her run like I do as it is secure. When I came back she was in the little hutch so I put in some dandelions I got from a friends garden. I put them in the run but she didnt move. I opened the lid on the hutch and she moved to see me.

When I went out to see her later she was still in the hutch and hadnt eaten the dandelions. So I put them in the hutch and she ate them.

Later on I went to put her back in her big hutch, she was fine with me picking her up and then went straight to her bedroom bit. I put in her bowl of food but she showed no interest which is so unlike her.

She has poo'd and wee'd but her poos looked a bit loose. I am so worried about her. What should I do?

To me she sounds in pain. I would call the vets. Getting her checked and some pain relief is vital. I wonder what she did that made him say she was feisty; that would worry me as an owner. I would be thinking if she injured herself out the back, to be honest.
 
Thanks for the reply, Yes thats what I was thinking but when I put her in the run from the vets she seemed fine and sat in her hay litter tray and started eating hay. I will go and see her now to see how she is.

What else I have been thinking is she has eaten something she shouldnt as the leaves are falling of the neighbours tree now.

I think I will call me vets and speak to the emergency vet.
 
She is moving about a lot more now. I called the emergency vet and he said to keep an eye on her through the night.

I will call my vet in the morning.

if her scar looks sore it could be infected did they give any antibiotics to give her and she does sound in pain :( how long ago did she have the spay? ive not had a girl done myself so have no idea how quick they should heal but a vet saying it looks sore would really worry me :?

hope she feels better soon xxx
 
The vet said it didnt look infected so no antibiotics or pain relief .

She was spayed 2 weeks ago.

She is eaten some hay and pellets today and has eaten the grass and herbs I put in last night.

She has poo'd and wee'd but her poos still dont look right, I will keep a close eye on her today.

I am beginning to think it is something she has eaten not to do with her spay.
